Glam & Grow - Beauty Business Podcast

ERLY was founded by two friends and mothers—dermatologist Dr. Hallie McDonald and Jamie Chandlee—who saw firsthand the rising pressure their daughters faced from the overwhelming beauty industry. With a flood of trendy products and unrealistic standards, they knew something had to change. Hallie, in her dermatology practice, was increasingly treating young patients suffering from the side effects of harsh skincare fads. Together, they launched ERLY: a clean, effective, and gentle skincare line designed to nurture, not harm. ERLY’s customizable system empowers users to mix targeted serums into their moisturizers, creating simple routines that meet individual skin needs. Rooted in early sun protection and barrier support, ERLY champions feeling good in your skin without the noise. Their mission is clear: strip away the pressure, keep it clean, and help everyone glow a little earlier. In this episode, Dr. Hallie McDonald also discusses: * The damage trendy skincare products were causing and how she set out to do better * Why less is more when it comes to skincare * How to build confidence and good habits early * The importance of peptides and how they’re safe, yet effective * The ability to customize your skincare with their mixing tool We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Dr. Hallie McDonald’s journey and the growth of www.itserly.com [https://itserly.com/].

Alli Webb, the visionary stylist behind Drybar, has reimagined her own hair journey and now invites us all to do the same with Messy. After selling Drybar in 2020 and experiencing personal upheaval, she began growing out her natural waves and fell in love with embracing imperfections. Messy isn't just a product line, it’s a manifesto that celebrates natural texture and a kinder, more sustainable approach to styling, rooted in what Webb calls the “Messy Revolution”. Powered by the Rough Dry Method, a heat-reduced styling technique designed to honor each person’s natural hair without the damage of traditional blowouts, the line is designed to work with your hair, not against it. More than a beauty brand, Messy is personal for Alli, born from her own transformation after loss, stress, an identity shift, and grounded in authenticity and self-love. In this episode, Alli also discusses: * How personal loss, growth, and healing led her to embrace imperfection * Drybar was all about polished, picture-perfect blowouts. Messy is the opposite—real, raw, and effortless * Her signature “messy” technique and why it’s better for your hair (I’m still trying to master it) * How Messy is helping to dismantle outdated beauty standards one strand at a time * The mindset shift that celebrates your natural hair, exactly as it is * Launching in Sephora on 6/24 We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Alli’s journey and the growth of www.itsmessy.com [https://itsmessy.com/].

What started with a single product, their 100% Pure Hyaluronic Acid, has grown into a trusted brand with a cult following, built on clean formulas, high concentrations of active ingredients, and a commitment to value. In this episode, Veronica shares how her background, shaped by a family legacy in beauty, inspired a pro-aging philosophy rooted in prevention, education, and barrier health. With small-batch production, minimal fillers, and a strong focus on transparency, Timeless is proving that skincare doesn’t need to be overcomplicated, or overpriced, to be effective. In this episode, Veronica also discusses: * Starting with $400 and one single hero product * Formulating in the USA in small batches for freshness and potency * The importance of routine and consistency from a young age * Having honest reviews and understanding certain products won’t work for everybody * Expanding into retail and launching in Target We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Veronica’s journey and the growth of www.timelessha.com [https://www.timelessha.com/].
